Holy Trinity is named a Thomas Edison STEM Award School for the 5th year in a row!
The criteria for the Thomas Edison Award for Excellence are: (1) to conduct a local science fair with twelve or more students, (2) qualify two or more of these students for one of the Academy’s 17 district science days, (3) have students participate in at least one or more youth science opportunities beyond the classroom such as State Science Day, Buckeye Science & Engineering Fair, Science Olympiad, B-Wiser, visits to museums, mentorship programs, and extended field trips and other structured STEM-related youth activities, (4) convince external STEM professionals how and to what extent the school’s program met the Academy’s definition of STEM education.
The Ohio Academy of Science defines STEM education as both the mastery and integration of science technology, engineering, and mathematics for all PK-12 students. It incorporates scientific inquiry and technological design through student-focused, project-based curricula to develop skills of communication, teamwork/collaboration, creativity/innovation, critical thinking and problem solving. First established in 1985, the Governor’s Thomas Edison Awards recognizes Ohio schools and teachers who stimulate scientific student research and technological design and extend opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities. “These schools and teachers connecting classrooms to the real world by demonstrating the relevance of STEM.”, said Michael E. Woytek, the Academy’s Executive Director. Woytek went on to say, “they are developing a group of active and intrinsic learners.”- The Villager 2020

Hi, my name is Miss Betley and I am SO excited to have the opportunity to teach at Holy Trinity. I have wanted to become a teacher since I was a young girl in Kindergarten. I spent most of my days asking my parents to take me to the "teacher store", in order to turn my playroom into my very own classroom. Now that my dreams have become a reality, I want to encourage my students to believe that the sky's the limit! Once you have set your mind and heart on something, anything is possible!
In my previous year teaching, I have come to love sharing my faith and my passion for education amongst my students. The early years in a student's life are not only the most impactful, but are also the most important for fostering a love of learning. In the primary grades, students build a foundation for the years to come as lifelong learners. I look forward to the many fun days ahead!
In my free time I LOVE to travel and spend time with my family!
